Your Postfix configuration looks sane. I have two questions:

1. Is there a Dovecot socket? What is the output from:

# ls -al /var/spool/postfix/private/auth


2. Could it be an application in your network filters SMTP?
You telnet to "mail.biggdog.biz", but "smtp.passthru" answers. If there's a
filter, does it filter AUTH and maybe also STARTTLS?

I am not sure about your second question.

Give me a bit as I must get back to my 18 month old daughter.

That looks sane, too.

Especially Cisco-systems are known to mess up SMTP Traffic, so is there a
Router or similar in your network which could possibly do odd things?

BTW: Please don't top post. Thank you!

From: "BABEDH-DHRA" on
I am using a non standard port 2525 for both incoming and outgoing mail.
I am using IPCop + COPFilter for my firewall. No router but just the other
box for IPCop. Now I did have a special program installed so my mail could
be filtered through port 2525 instead of the standard port 25. This came
directly from the programmer.


I have tried both ways of doing it the Cyrus and Dovecot. I still think it
may have something to do with mysql database since my mail server is
"Debian Lenny-amd-64 mail server uses Postfix driven virtual mailbox domains
stored in a MySQL database, managed by PostfixAdmin and phpMyAdmin."

Any other suggestions?

1. As has been asked more than once, please stop top-posting, and

2. Remove the 'special program' referenced above from the loop and see
if the problem goes away...
